My father has been in other care homes recently and not settled or been admitted to hospital swiftly after arriving, however, he has settled quickly at Westbourne and we have been more than happy with the care he's received/continues to receive. The staff are lovely, caring, knowledgeable and really
spend quality time with the residents I warmly recommend it.

Over the past 2 1/2 years mum has had fantastic care through every stage of the dementia, from the challenging wondering times preventing falls to end of life care where mum was looked after right to the end with a senior sitting with her all night as mum passed away. I cannot thank all the staff enough.

My mother spent 18 months in the Westbourne and I was very impressed with the care she received. All the staff were friendly, hard working and caring. For me the important thing was having a core set of staff that got to know mum and care for her. Everyone from the care home manager to the nurses and
assistants were professional and approachable. Sadly, mum passed away recently but the home helped the family deal with the painful experience of her passing and I won't forget the kind words and hugs from all the staff.

My mother has cancer, she has been well cared for and her condition has improved considerably whilst being cared for.
The managers have been exceptionally helpful in enabling me to take mother out and in the difficult process of moving her to a home closer to me.
I could not have asked for more help
and support.

My aunt has just spent the last few weeks of her life at this wonderful home. I cannot rate it highly enough. The staff are so kind, compassionate and caring and did their absolute best for my dear aunt. The home is welcoming, warm and clean but it is the staff who make it. They are knowledgeable and
professional but above all, they really care and they made sure my aunt had a peaceful, dignified, comfortable end while showing us great support.

My brother has been at The Westbourn for just over a year, (he has Dementia) he talks about the staff, tells me they are very kind, he calls them good girls.
He gets very stubborn at times and it must be difficult but I know he is well looked after. I visit three times a week, stying two hours each
time. I don't worry anymore and I know he has settled and is happy.

My grandfather has been at The Westbourne for just over a year. The improvement in his condition since before he came is dramatic. I could not wish for a more conscientious management and staff team, who demonstrably put the best interests of residents at the centre of what they do.

My mum moved to The Westbourne in September 2015 when the home she was in could not care for her needs. My mum is very happy and contented. I have no complaints. Much praise to the staff. The nurse is very caring and approachable.
One criticism would be mum's clothes :visited recently, buttons had
come off mum's blouse, her bra was showing. One Monday she had food spilled all down her top. I feel sad and wish the staff had time to put her a new top on.
Also would be nice to be offered a coffee when it's snack time. Happy to contribute to a jar of coffee. Maintenance man very kind to the residents :).

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.811)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.811) out of 10 for The Westbourne Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.811 for The Westbourne Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (166 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 201 Ratings = 4.811

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Westbourne Care Home is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
